Alessandra Potenza, a writer for New York Times Upfront magazine, sheds light onto the seriousness of Poachers. Poachers, also known as “Trophy Hunters”, are causing the endangered species problem to become worse, specifically African wildlife. Every year 600 lions are killed by Trophy Hunters (column in the middle of pg. 11). An example of this happening is with Cecil (a lion, also a popular tourist attraction) didn’t attack the Trophy Hunters when they shot him with a crossbow but instead ran away; the Trophy Hunters tracked him down and killed 2 days later. (Paragraph 1 and 2, pg. 10)…
The wolf hunting and trapping season should be outlawed because other animals are being injured in the process. These days’ trappers have been catching a lot more than wolves. Some among the list include mountain lions, eagles, fishers, deer and even family pets. In January, a National Park Service employee accidentally stepped into one, just outside Glacier National Park. The next month, a dog got three of its legs caught in two different traps at once.…
“Without hunting there would be no conservation, without conservation there would be no wildlife (Keck).” From the very beginning of human evolution, man has hunted animals for food to live. Throughout the history, hunting was persuaded because of daily needs and for other essential reasons. In todays’s world hunting is still preferred and done by humans for food and sport.…
ere it ends up” (Christy). This is loosely interpreted to mean that researchers try to trace the routes of poachers; however, it is too much work and requires too many people without the promise of success. Therefore, it may be easier to let the poachers continue with what they have been doing. Everyone knows that elephants are eventually going to die, every living creature does.…
Many people are doing illegal crimes every day with knowing it. People get caught and put them in jail for the certain amount of years. However, we as a society, create punishments for a reason to avoid further damage to the ecosystem or the environment. I'm here to declare that the poachers should go to jail time. Let's start off with the common reason why should they go to jail.…
Poaching is a major concern in Africa for Elephant and rhino tusks. The United States is working very hard to try and catch the poachers.

Elephant culling is unnecessary because your killing the elephants just to decrease the population of these innocent animals. Animal culling shouldn't be a thing because your killing animals that have done nothing. During the 1970s and 80s and early 90s, helicopter flights in kruger national park carried sharpshooters who methodically picked off one elephant after another to reduce the population in the fenced preserve.…
Poaching, and other forms of animal cruelty, should be illegal in all parts of the world. To completely get rid of animal injustice, we need to focus more on hunting and abuse, the state of enclosures, and habitat reduction. (claim;NEED TO STOP HUNTING) We have long passed the age where we needed to hunt live prey to survive the cold, hungry winters. In the modern world, food is available at the touch of a button.…
A common concern we have today is poaching. Poaching is bad and we can stop it by using surveillance, punishment, and restrictions on land. One way we can solve the poaching problem is with surveillance. If you have video footage you could catch the culprit. In the article it says you can use drones because you can’t hear them, see them, or smell them so the people who are hunting won’t know they’re being watched.…
Wildlife poaching has negative effects on local communities, wildlife population, and the ecosystem. The extinction of a species can effect a local communities tourism industry. “A community that relies on its wildlife to attract tourists is at great risk for economic hardship if the prevalence of poaching is high”(Estrada). If Poaching continues still on it can have a drastic effect on the food chain. For example, “when the North American Gray Wolf was on the brink of extinction, due to trophy hunting and poaching, the elk populations in Yellowstone National Park soared.…
Pitiful Prisons According to the text "The impact of animals protection",many nature parks have programs that keep the animals protected in places. By keeping them in their own habitat, they can live there safely. Keeping animals protected has been proven to increase population of endangered animals, it is not always the best thing to do for the animal. When animals are like this they are separated from other animals and their survival instinct is no longer needed.…
Research Paper Intro For many generations, controversy has surrounded the topic of hunting as tugs between the morals of killing innocent animals and its necessity in the role of the environment as it ties to the importance of survival. Although many have found issues in relation to the ethics of hunting, the popular “sport” helps to control over population, benefits the economy, and is a major resource for nourishment. The practicality and necessity of hunting and its ability to promote survival as a foundational food source and its benefit to the environment outweighs the questionable principles that arouse controversy on the topic.…
Animal Poaching Vin Paneccasio is the creator of multiple animal slaughter awareness cartoons and the one that has the most significance is Figure 1. This image demonstrates the switched positions between rhinos and humans during poaching. Animal poachery is one of the most heartbreaking things on this planet and many people don't realize the process and the impact it makes on nations until it is too late.

Is Hunting Good or Bad In places like Alaska people hunt to survive and for clothing. Alaskan people would kill the animals for the food so they can survive and keep the hide for warmth and clothing to prevent frostbite or any other sickness in the dead of winter. People like that may have no other way of survival besides hunting. There are also people who love animals and hate the killing of animals.…
According to scientists, around 150-200 species of plant and animal go extinct every 24 hours. This statistic doesn’t seem so shocking until the realization comes that this is almost 1,000 times the natural rate for extinction. Humans contribute a great amount to this pandemic. A prime example is that of the dodo bird, which was famously hunted into extinction. Around 20,000 species are currently listed as threatened by extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).…
